To make the most of your Walking Home experience:
- You should aim to walk at least every alternate day (5-10km), plus for one longer walk per week. Please see walking schedule.
- Make sure you have adequate footwear, drink plenty of water and be sun smart.
- If you feel blisters developing, stop immediately and attend to them. Blisters don't go away, they just get worse!

Geelong's Gym is perfect for us…
Player Darren Milburn with trainer Paul Haines
“Our team has been using Geelong’s Gym in pre-season training, especially as our training facilities were under renovations, and we have been continuing to utilize the Geelong's Gym facility with the junior players. We have found it to be in the perfect position for us, with a very welcoming environment where our players are able to train without being disturbed. It has proven to be a good alternative to our training facilities, somewhere fresh where we don’t feel like we’re at work. Geelong’s Gym is perfect for us because it has all the facilities we need, with an excellent amount of space, where we’re treated as regular members of the public.”
